Trimming the fuselage sides. I used a coping saw and small hand saw with a hack saw blade to trim the left front fuselage side then the right front fuselage side. The front foam/fiberglass and longerons were both trimmed. A carpenters square was clamped in place to avoid cutting inboard of the trim lines. …

On Thursday March 17th 2016, pilots Christopher Glos and David LeFrancois participated in a University of Texas Medical Branch led Commercial Spaceflight Passenger Training Study at The NASTAR Center. They experienced simulated suborbital spaceflights using NASTAR’s high-performance centrifuge-based simulator. This simulator generated high onset-offset, sustained acceleration (“G”) forces similar to those experienced in commercial spacecraft. Here is …
